    I wonder if the last owner realized that his/her car would be one of the most photographed cars in the US?

    Nice comp Len

    Thanks Taz & Randy. You are correct Randy re a very photographed car. Even tho it's been done by "everyone", it shouldn't stop us. I was taken by the color of the patina and the light from the high angle of the sun.

    Thanks Len and Randy for the education! I have never been to Bodie, so in this case my ignorance really let me enjoy the shot!:D
    I think it is still classic and kind of thing you see hanging in places!thumb.gif Cheers!

    Great shot, Len. I love how the old buildings appear as though they're inside the car.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    I don't know how you made that stretch Len, but that wasn't even remotely my point. I would never tell someone to not shoot this or that. Just that it would seem odd to leave an old car abandoned somewhere, only to have it be one of, if not the most photographed cars in America.

    My bad Randy. I didn't mean to imply that you were telling me what to shoot or not, and I did not think that was your point. Your irony regarding the car's abandonment and subsequent popularity is spot on.
